Reply to "Clutch again"

I can't help myself, even though no one proably cares, I'll post the graph of the linkage kinamatics I did back when I was still able to do such.

IF the clutch rod is adjusted so that "b & c" are in line (the white line), this is the 0,0 of the graph an implies that even though the amount of mechanical travel advantage is its greatest, the force required to push the pedal is tremendous (ie if is LOCKED).

the clutch rod needs to be adjusted so the starting angle is as indicated by the white arrow. HOWEVER, if the angle is to great, the mechanical advantage is nill. this is the graph for when pedal travle is greater than 1
